First Friday Freebie #11

At the outset, I’d like to wish my fellow Canadians a belated Happy Canada Day…

and to my American friends, a Happy 4th.

I hope that you like this month’s First Friday Feebie design. Allow me to present…

“Bee It Ever So Humble”

A closer look at the stitched area…

When I printed my copy of the PDF file, for some reason, the line drawing turned out smaller than my original and I have to apologize because I don’t know how to adjust it. I do all my drawings on an 8 1/2” x 11” sheet of paper and they usually fill most of that space. Please feel free to enlarge the line drawing to suit your individual needs.

Hi Kaaren; the downsizing of your line drawing seems to be a problem with PDF conversion. I have tried a lot of things to get it correct, but the bestI have come up with is to....scan the line drawing into a Word Document, right click then select 'Format Picture' then; select "size" and change "scale" to 102%. Centre the document as well before converting to PDF. It isn't the exact size; but most times is fairly close to it.Hope it works for you.Kind RegardsJudithhttp://creativestudio10.blogspot.com.aup.s. I am hosting an Early Bird Christmas Crafting on my blog...may I copy some of your Friday Freebies pics, and refer bloggers back to your site by way of a link for the patterns?

Cute cute cute, thank you! About your scan to pdf..........I found on mine that when scanning 8.5 x 11paper that if I crop it to 8.25 x 10.75 my drawings will reprint same size (have an HP photosmart, but my other scanner/printer did the same thing.) I have heard others saying something about saving it a 97% or something like that. Cyndi

Though I wish I had more time to do a little more red work. Every month I love to pop in and see what you have created. Your work is always so uplifting and gorgeous. It seems that even when you retire from designing, the urge to create just keeps on going. VBG! What a wonderfully talented person you are. Thanks ever so much for the free patterns.
